Standard time zones can be defined by geometrically subdividing the Earth’s spheroid ( 球状体 ) into 24 lines, bordered by meridians ( 子午线 ) each 15° of longitude apart. The local time in neighboring zones would differ by one hour. However, political boundaries, geographical practicalities, and convenience of inhabitants can result in irregularly-shaped zones.

15. Unit 6 Listening& Speaking Fun time Reading & writing 2. Jet Lag Jet lag is a condition marked by fatigue, insomnia and irritability that is caused by air travel through changing time zones. Living organisms are accustomed to periods of night and day alternating at set intervals. Most of the human body’s regulating hormones ( 荷尔蒙 ) follow this cycle, known as circadian rhythm ( 生理 节奏 ). Each chemical has its own cycle of highs and lows, interacting with and influencing the other

16. Unit 6 Listening& Speaking Fun time Reading & writing cycles. Body temperature, sleepiness, thyroid ( 甲状腺 ) function, growth hormone, metabolic ( 新陈代谢的 ) processes all cycle with daylight. There is a direct connection between the retina ( 视网膜 ) (where light hits the back of the eye) and the part of the brain that controls all these hormones. Artificial light has some effect, but sunlight has much more. When traveling through a number of time zones, most people reset their rhythms within a few days, demonstrating the adaptability of the human species. Some people, however, have upset rhythms that last indefinitely. Source: By Paula Ford-Martin

17. Unit 6 Listening& Speaking Fun time Reading & writing 3. Altitude Sickness Altitude sickness is a general term including a series of disorders that occur at higher altitudes. Since the severity of symptoms varies with altitude, it is important to understand the range of the different altitudes that may be involved. High altitude is defined as height greater than 8,000 feet; medium altitude is defined as height between 5,000 and 8,000 feet and extreme altitude is defined as height greater than 19,000 feet. The majority of healthy individuals suffer from altitude sickness when they reach very high altitudes.

18. Unit 6 Listening& Speaking Fun time Reading & writing Altitude sickness occurs because the partial pressure of oxygen decreases with altitude. For instance, at 18,000 feet the partial pressure of oxygen drops to one half its value at sea level and, therefore, there is a substantially lower amount of oxygen available for the individual to inhale ( 吸入 ). This is known as hypoxia ( 组织缺氧 ). Furthermore, since there is less oxygen to inhale, less oxygen reaches the blood. This is known as hypoxemia ( 血氧 不足 ). These two conditions are the major factors that form the basis for all the medical problems associated with altitude sickness. Source: By Kapil Gupta, MD
